For a comprehensive collection of asymptotic expansions that cover $f\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ and $h\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ as $\epsilon\to 0\pm$ and are uniform in $r$ , including unbounded values, see Curtis (1964a, §7). These expansions are in terms of elementary functions, Airy functions, and Bessel functions of orders $2\ell+1$ and $2\ell+2$ .
